![]() The Ford EcoSport interior has the most legroom to offer to the front passengers. The front row space is nearly dominated by the Hyundai Tucson, which offers the most headroom and shoulder space. The Premier trim adds more appealing dual-tone upholstery, contrast stitching on the instruments panel, and patterned work on the console. There are flowing lines and all controls are well laid out in a highly ergonomic fashion, which makes the cabin feel premium. The Hyundai Tucson comes with the largest fuel tank and delivers the highest range among the competition.Ĭhevrolet has assembled a rather traditional dash that flows horizontally, along with driver-focused conventional instruments. Thus both cars offer the same combined fuel economy. While the Ford EcoSport delivers a compelling 27 MPG gas mileage in the city, the Buick Encore offers 33 miles to the gallon on the highway. The fuel tank lets you travel up to 462 miles without the need for refueling.Ĭomparing the competition, the Buick Encore and the Ford EcoSport offer the best fuel economy. The compact SUV also comes with a decent 14.0-gallon fuel tank, which is decent given the size of the compact Trax. The mileage falls slightly with the all-wheel-drive configuration, which is understandable. The result is a combined MPG figure of 28, which is a generous offering for the segment. With the combination of standard front-wheel drive, the 2018 Chevy Trax returns a decent fuel economy of 25 MPG during city driving and a staggering 33 miles to the gallon on highways. ![]() Thankfully, the 2018 Chevrolet Trax measures to weigh the least among its competitors, also managing an impressive braking distance of 121 feet. ![]() That title would go to the Buick Encore, which interestingly manages to win the quarter-mile sprint in 16.2 seconds. The Hyundai has the largest engine and also is the most powerful, but to our surprise, the Tucson doesn’t cross the quarter-mile mark the fastest. The 2018 Hyundai Tucson is the fastest with 0-60 mph reaching in 8.3 seconds. The brake pedal feels solid and gives the driver enough confidence. It takes 121 feet to come to a complete halt from 60 mph, which is quite respectable and is in fact, the least stopping distance among its competition. Where the Chevy Trax redeems itself a little is in the braking department. It 2018 Chevrolet Trax takes 9.0 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 mph, which is really slow.Ģ018 Chevrolet Trax SUV accelerates in 9.0 sec The acceleration is rather lethargic, and even when you put your foot down, the car takes an underwhelming amount of time to react. The 2018 Chevrolet Trax's ECOTEC 1.4-liter turbocharged engine comes mated with a standard front-wheel drive and an optional all-wheel drive. 2018 Chevrolet Trax Acceleration and Braking The Hyundai Tucson also offers the most torque, while the Ford EcoSport again has the least of it to offer. While the Hyundai Tucson makes 164 horsepower with its 2.0L Inline-4 engine, the Ford EcoSport lacks the power output by offering only 123 horsepower. Since both the Chevrolet Trax and the Buick Encore lie under the parent company General Motors, they share a similar engine setup. But it's not all downsides as the Chevy Trax handles pretty well and provides an enjoyable ride. Considering the pricing of the Trax, the engine power output is disappointing but that does help in terms of improved fuel economy. The transmission of the 2018 Chevrolet Trax is not that quick and provides lethargic acceleration as compared to its rivals. We'd therefore recommend you go with the LT trim.
